Getting discouraged is such a tough thing. It comes about when something sets you back from the path that you were going for, something that makes the end goal further away from arms reach.
As much as I hate to say it, I set myself up for discouragement with the help of my good friend, procrastination. It has been setting me back since I can remember. Things just do not seem real until they are staring you right in your face waiting for action. I am constantly thinking of these things that need to get done but for some reason I didn't do them. I have spent more time thinking about the things that I need to do than it would have taken me to sit down and get them done.
Once I have gotten to this point, I get so overwhelmed by all of the things that I need to do to get back on my path that I get stuck in a standstill. Time is still moving around me and my mind is trying to create a plan of action but it is stunted by the cloud of doubt and a message telling me that I got myself here and somewhere I need to find the way out.
The fact of the matter is, if I want to achieve that goal I have to work for it and though I have wasted time it is still possible. I just cannot put out of my mind that it is not happening on the initial terms and time frame that I set up for myself. Does it really matter though? I am so caught up in the mistakes I made to get here but life happens and setbacks come but I can still DO something.
How can I refocus this doubt into fuel? How can I get out of this standstill?
